Everett, WA Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

020 is the citywide off-street parking table the planning department applies to every land use in the Unified Development Code, and short-term rentals get their own row rather than being folded into the general dwelling-unit standard. Whole-unit rentals need three off-street spaces when on-street parking exists in front of the site, and no fewer than four when it does not; by-room rentals inside an owner-occupied or tenant-occupied home need one off-street space for every guest room rented out, separate from the household's own parking. 50 or more round up, anything below rounds down.

050 exemption list, which covers mixed-use-center development, sites within a half-mile of bus rapid transit or rail, sub-1,200-square-foot dwellings, affordable housing, individually register-listed historic structures, and senior or disability housing. 060: either commission a parking study from a qualified traffic professional that the planning director accepts as adequate for a lesser standard, or claim the automatic twenty-five percent reduction available to any parcel within a quarter mile of a transit stop with service at least four times an hour for twelve-plus hours a day, or within a half mile of rail or bus rapid transit service. This off-street parking table was last revised citywide by Ord. 13 that govern the short-term rental business license itself.
